Barnegat, X. J., April 20—UP—
Several districts in New Jersey
were swept tonight by forest fires
and at least one town was threat
ened with destruction.
One fire sweeping down through
the wooded region between Mana
hawkin and Barnegat, reached such
proportions shortly before midnight
that it, was feared that it would
get entirely out of control.
The flames cut a swath about a
mile wide as they roared through
the wood and forced many farmers
to remove their valuable belongings
and join firemen from nearby com
munities in attempting to check the
fire.

English Correctness
Subject of Address
In a talk before the practice
teachers and members of the Eng
lish department yesterday at the
Education building, I>r. Sterling A.
Leonard, professor of English at the
University of Wisconsin, and chair
man of the committee of research
of the National Council of English
Teachers, said that English teach
ers were not making very fast pro
gress in “English correctness.” He
claims that there arc two reasons
for this: first, that, too many un
true nnd unimportant things are
taught; and second, that teachers
rely too much on corrections that
do not produce the desired effect.
“English teachers should be inter
ested in what their pupils have to
say and how they organize it. They
should be least interested in the
mere form. Composition means or- j
ganization of material with respect j
to the audience,” Dr. Leonard said.
Many teachers, according to Dr.
Leonard, rely on the quite futile pro
cedure of constant correction, which
results only in hardening the pupils
because they soon commence to
think that everything they do is
wrong.
“Almost everything in the Eng
lish grammars,” said Dr. Leonard,
“was hatched in the 18th century
with no historical justification. ,Tho
statements were made by persons
who knew nothing about tho his
tory of English. This, also, pre
vents us from teaching English cor
rectly.”
THfc BULL SBfS\ON
The First Blast
—in which “Crum” and “Ajax” paw the ground and snort.
“Crum”
—CHUM McINNIS
stamped noisily into
the living room of
“The House,” threw
himself into the one
^vacant chair by the
fireplace, and ex
ploded :
‘ ‘ I’m sunk—wreck
ed—torpedoed.”
‘ ‘ Wlnit ’s-«-ma tier.
Crum?” asked “Bart” Bartholo
mew, from his place by the mantle.
“You seem slightly annoyed.”
“Well, I am—no foolin’. Here I
start out with a nico new freshly
laundered ten dollar bill to buy a
few measly text books—and this
flock of Coco Colas is all I’ve got
left”—and he emptied the pocket of
his cords pf. a handful of small
change.
“Whatta they think we are, any*
way—Rockefellers? Three dollars
for a Taussig! Three-fifty for a
Chemistry! Two-seventy-five for a
Psych!—and so on. It’s a stick-up—
that’s wliaf it is.”,
“I’m with you on that,” growled
“Ajax” Henderson. “Thought I’d
beat the game this year by buying
second-hand books. I did save a
little—but not much. Got this Geol
ogy for three dollars.”
“Let’s look at it,” said Bart. “If
I’d known you were going to take
Geology this year, I’d’ve saved my
copy and sold it to you, instead of
turning it in for half price.”
Ajax passed him the book, and
Bart riffled the pages.
“ Well, I’ll be--” he exclaimed.
“Wouldn’t that burn you up! Why
that’s the very identical book I sold
to the Co-op not more than ten days
ago for two dollars in trade! And
they had the nerve to soak you three
bucks for it!”
“That’s just what I’m roarin’
about,” Crum burst out, with re
newed heat, “it’s a regular Tea-Pot
uuim;—i licit awiiai
it is. By golly,
I—”
“Wait a min
ute,” interrupted
Johnny Masters.
“Wait a minute!
Your radiator’ll
boil over in a sec
ond, Crum.”
“Well, I’ve got
Ajax”
a right to be sore, haven t I! Stung
for a lotta lousy books the profs
wish oil me!”
“ You don’t expect to learn any
thing without books, do you?” John
asked.
“Course not. But that don’t sig
nify they’ve got to hang such unholy
prices on the darn things, either.”
“How do you know the prices the
Co-op charges are ‘unholy’?” re
joined John. “I don’t suppose
they’re any more than book stores
charge anywhere.”
“Oh, of course John would side in
with the authorities,” commented
Bart. “That’s what comes of being
on the debate ^team, and the Student
Council.”
“Yes, and his Dad runs a store,
too—don’t he, John? Don’t your
old man run a store?”
“He certainly does,” answered
John. “If he didn’t, J wouldn’t be
going to Oregon right now. He
makes,a little money out of it—but
none too much. But I've been around
enough to see the retailer’s side of it
—or some of it, anyway.”
“Yeah,” growled Ajax, dis
gustedly, “enough to take sides
against the poor guy that pays two
prices for everything lie buys. Why,
everybody knows that we get stung
right down the line. The Univer
sity’s behind the whole thing,
prob ’ly—just another way to squeeze
money out of us—like the student
body tax, the fees, and everything
else.
“Oh, I wouldn’t go as far as that,”
put in Bart.
“I’ll say;not,” said Johm “That’s
all apple butter, Ajax. You don’t
know the first thing about it when
you make a crack like that.”
“The hech I don’t.”
“No—the heck you don't. You’re
as wet as an Oregon April. You just
growl on general principles—that’s
all. .WJiy, you get value received
tor every eent of
your student body
tax—that is, if you ,
use what it buys you.
And even if you
didn’t you overlook
the faet that the stu
dents voted it them- i
selves—every eent of
it.’’
“I didn’t have any
“Bart”
thing to say about it,” said Ajax.
‘‘No—and ypu probably wouldn’t
even take enough interest to vote if
the thing came up toifay. Every
penyy of that money is disbursed oil
the order of the student body of
ficers.”
‘‘Well, what’s that got to do with
the price of text books?” said Crum,
who resented being left out of the
argument.
‘ ‘ Nothing—necessarily, ’ ’ answered
John. ‘‘Only Ajax tried to make the
University responsible—that’s all.”
‘‘II. ain't only text books,” inter
jected .Crum, ‘‘it's everything else
—note books and paper and athletic
stuff and all the rest of it. It’s
strong-arm stuff—-that’s what it is.”
‘‘Well,” answered Johnny, “you
don’t have to buy anything there—
except textbooks, do you? But say
—we’re chewing a lot of rag here,
and none of us know what we’re talk
ing about—really. You fellows have
kind of got me interested in this
thing, anyhow. What do you say
we look into it?”
“Yeah — a senate investigating
committee foe the campus Teapot
Dome,” said Ajax.
“Well, that’s all right. I’m will
ing to put in a little time on it. I
ought to know, more about it than I
do, anyway. All of us ought to. It’s
a Co-operative store, isn’t it?
“.Yes—they co-operate to hold us
up”—from Crum.
“Forget that stuff, Crum. You
make me sick. You’re just a belly
acher. You’re like the Irish Democrat
—always agin’ the government. What
1 want to do is to find
out. What do you
say, Bart — are you
with me?”
“ Well,” said Bart,
“I’ll put iu my time
with yours, John. It
might be interesting^
at that.”
“Okey—and we’ll
spill the dope as soon
as we get it.”
“Johnny”
